First encounter with Windows Vista


A few days back I got to see Windows Vista in action. A friend of mine had bought a DELL Laptop with Windows Vista. It was the basic edition, did not have the 3D desktop but looked clean. But alas, I was disappointed, withing 5 minutes I had managed to make the desktop hang. There was a clock utility running on the top right hand side. I pulled it and released it under the start button. The desktop hanged. It was a soft hang. After waiting for 5 minutes I rebooted the machine. Everything was back to normal. In spite of this, I liked the looks, neat and clean. Didn't use it enough to comment more on the pros and cons. Watch this space for more on Windows Vista
